I want to only link, not embed, pictures in my Word document. Yet I got a lot of images to insert!

And I want to spare me the additional click into the dropdown menu one and for all, so the question is, is there any way to set "link image(s)" as default? Because I didn't find anything in the Word settings, only totally useless detail settings. This "detail" has been overseen by Microsoft it seems! :(

I would provide you with a screenshot, but it would be German anyways.
I think the guys who use image linking in Word since v2007, will know what I mean.
